One of the big treats of vacationing is ... the treats! And the many, many meals. Planning breakfasts was simplified because Choice Hotels offer free breakfasts. This saved some serious money; 4 people X $5 (a conservative estimate) = $20/breakfast X 24 days = $480, or $240 per couple. That could get us a lot of ice creams!
Deciding where to have lunch was easy; Mapquest hotel to hotel, pick a spot halfway, and let Mapquest search for restaurants. Most of the time, Mapquest gave good information and we 
found what we wanted. The other times we had to wing it. For supper, we usually ate in the town where we would sleep, but when we found an exceptional place on line, we rerouted the trip so we could enjoy it. Is it worth going 74 miles out of the way for a restaurant? Look at the dessert tray and decide for yourself. Amish Acres in Nappannee IN was definitely one of the best stops.

Once we had found where we wanted to eat every lunch, supper, and several snacks, we planned our training regimen. This involved waiting until the week before we left and then going to Old Country Buffet for the all-you-can-eat experience. There's no sense in going on vacation to lose weight. Th professional contest eaters use lettuce to increase their consumption capabilities, but what fun is that?
We had the hotels, the restaurants, the attractions, and let us not forget the Grand Marquis, so we just had to pack enough clothes for 24 days. Simple, right?
